Get the most from your small bathroom with ideas and ways to gain space by installing a small bathroom tub and purchasing the right inexpensive bath accessories.

Investing in a small bathroom tub can be a great way to save space while still being able to enjoy a nice bath or shower. Sometimes, however, the space may still seem cramped and unmanageable. There are many small additions that you can make to your small bathroom tub to create higher efficiency and added convenience.

10 Suggestions for Small Bathroom Tub Efficiency

Small additions can help to use your small bathroom tubs space optimally. These include:

• Shower caddy
• Sliding glass doors with a built in towel bar
• Hand held shower head
• Mirrors
• Bath table
• Soap dispensers
• Shower surround
• Hanging baskets
• Suction cup accessories
• Soap dish

Shower Caddy

Adding a shower caddy to a small bathroom tub can give some much needed space for smaller items. Having additional storage space can be extremely helpful for things such as razors.

Sliding Glass Doors With Built in Towel Bar

Having sliding glass doors installed on small bathroom tubs retracts the need for a shower curtain. It is a double bonus for those who purchase doors with an attached towel rack. This frees up wall space because you will already have a designated towel drying area.

Hand Held Shower Head

Hand held showers are commonly used in many different types of small bathroom tubs. They are a great way to give bathers more freedom to move about and more control of water dispersal. Hand held showers can be used by individuals whether bathing or showering, making it extremely convenient.

Mirrors

Mirrors can add some glamour to a room while also making the room appear much larger. This illusion is a common practice, making any room look more substantial.

Bath Table

Adding a bath table to a small bathroom tub can be of great assistance for anyone taking a bath. These tables are built to fit neatly over your bathtub.

Soap Dispensers

Pouring large bulky soap container contents into a neatly compacted soap dispenser can free up a lot of room. There are many different shapes (some are shaped as characters, etc), sizes, and colors of dispensers available, making it very easy to use them as a decorator piece as well.

Shower Surround

A shower surround is a type of shelving that surrounds your small bathroom tub. If your tub does not currently have any shelving, this option can be very beneficial for you.

Hanging Baskets

Installing baskets (made of waterproof materials such as stainless steel) will help to create space. These can be suspended from the ceiling, taking up no space whatsoever on existing shelves.

Suction Cup Accessories

Suction cups work extremely well on the surface of most small bathroom tubs. They suspend items fairly well, depending on their weight. You can add all kinds of extras, like a toothbrush cup or small shelf.

Soap Dish

Having a designated soap dish may seem silly, but soap can get messy. When moistened, bar soap can leave a gooey residue. This can get all over other items, creating quite a mess.

Having a small bathroom tub does not mean you have to live without certain accessories. You can easily optimize your tubs efficiency by adding a few minor touches.
